In EDU 101, students pick an educational "shift" (a person, theory, uprising, historical event, legislative act, judicial decision, etc. that caused us to shift the way we thought about and/or carried out education) to research and share their findings in a wiki
In EDU 221, students work in teams to teach one of the chapters from the classroom management textbook. Additionally, the teams have to find resources to supplement the information in the book. They create a classroom management wiki textbook to teach the concepts and share their findings and resources.
Wiki Class Activity or use of Wiki as a Tool (no formal assessment)
Sample Activities
In EDU 101, after generating a list of characteristics of good teachers, groups of students pick categories and try to create a rubric of how a supervisor could assess those characteristics. The tool could also be used as a self-assessment by a teacher (or by these students when they are teachers). The activity gives them an exposure to using wikis (but they're in the safety of a group so they can help each other out) and exposes them to the use of a template in the wiki.
In EDU 101, after a recruitment presentation by a SEAM member and after reading a chapter in the textbook about ongoing professional development, students are grouped by concentration and/or major. These groups of like-minded students research the professional organizations in their field and create a resource that they can actually refer to.
In EDU 221, students design their unit (Stage 1, 2, and 3) using the template created in the Wiki. Click on the links which includes the word template (Stage 1 Template Block 1, Stage 2 Template Block 1 or Stage 3 Template Block 1) Be sure to look at the discussion and history tabs of the Stage 1 Template Block 1.
